    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I found my 6 yrs old sons cherry head red foot last night by food dish dead she was very bloated she was about 4 months old when I got her she still had signs of her yolk sack on bottom of her shell. Shes been active and been gaining weight I weigh them every week. I just spryed her in the morning and found her at night she was fine in morning. My son is very upset and don't want this to happen to my other sons tort that is in same cage. I use sphagnum moss for the cage and feed them daily a diff mix of things and calcium once a week. and keep one side of cage moist and other dry and they have a heat light that keeps them around 90-92 I have temp gun to keep track of temps. I take them outside a couple times a week for them to get sun. I just want to find out what could of caused this cause there was no signs of anything. Any help will be helpful, and if there is anyone who knows anyone with any cherryheads for cheap cause I don't have a lot now would be apperchated too to replace his tort he loves them and is very sad he lost his baby he always helped feed them and everything. Color doesn't matter as long as it aint too much Thanks for looking cherryhead1.JPG

Awww I'm so sorry about your son's tort. I don't have any ideas to offer for why it died though, hopefully someone with more knowledge will come along and can maybe offer some ideas.

Any number of things could have killed it... Was the other tort in the enclosure the same species??? It is not good to mix diff species of torts in a small enclosure like that. Some will say its ok, but it's not. There is a chance they can make each other sick. I have lost a tortoise this way, as well as a friend of mine. I suggest not keeping diff species together....
